Sunday Post's best reads of the year, 2018 Rome, AD 63. Vespasian
has been made Governor of Africa. Nero, Rome's increasingly
unpredictable Emperor, orders him to journey with his most trusted
men to a far-flung empire in Africa to free 500 Roman citizens who
have been enslaved by a desert kingdom. Vespasian arrives at the
city to negotiate their emancipation, hoping to return to Rome a
hero and find himself back in favour with Nero. But when Vespasian
reaches the city, he discovers a slave population on the edge of
revolt. With no army to keep the population in check, it isn't long
before tensions spill over into bloody chaos. Vespasian must escape
the city with all 500 Roman citizens and make their way across a
barren desert, battling thirst and exhaustion, with a hoard of
rebels at their backs. It's a desperate race for survival, with
twists and turns aplenty. Meanwhile, back in Rome, Nero's
extravagance goes unchecked. All of Rome's elite fear for their
lives as Nero's closest allies run amok. Can anyone stop the
Emperor before Rome devours itself? And if Nero is to be toppled,
who will be the one to put his head in the lion's mouth?
